High Peak Liberal Democrats
On Wednesday, Jo Swinson revealed our bold plan for building a brighter future. Our manifesto is green, progressive and inclusive…
And the reviews have been glowing!
On the NHS, Lynda Thomas, the CEO of Macmillan, agreed that we need to back our nurses and staff. She said:

Our open, caring policies seemed to impress you!
Some eye-catching proposals in the Lib Dem manifesto:
🔸Gender "X" on UK passports
🔸Humanist marriages
🔸"Gender-neutral" school uniforms
🔸Ban real fur & caged hens
🔸Body for horse welfare to prevent the "abuse & deaths" of racehorses
🔸"Blue belt" of marine protected areas https://t.co/V34RDuI5fm

And speaking of protecting nature...
We're the only party prepared to tackle the climate emergency with the urgency required. Friends of the Earth were quick to praise our green policies:
.@LibDems have included lots of strong policies to tackle the nature & #ClimateEmergency in their manifesto from warm homes & clean energy to reducing waste but it fails to end road building, HS2, and regional runway expansion. What do you think? #GE2019 https://t.co/MX8uoo1LK5
It's so, so important that we safeguard our planet for the next generation. We plan to do just that!
We're also going to build 100,000 homes for social rent each year. Shelter and Inside Housing thought that this was a brilliant idea:
A new Rent to Own social housing model would be introduced under a Liberal Democrat government, according to the party's manifesto #ukhousing https://t.co/UivR5AiIUv
We had some wonderful support from our friends in the Legal community.
The Secret Barrister is a Twitter legend and champion of best practice in law and politics. He loved our commitment to Legal Aid:
And Jo Maugham QC, hero of the prorogation trial, was a fan of our manifesto, too!
We saw particularly strong support for our plans to modernise our politics. Adam Wagner, human rights barrister and host of the Better Human podcast, wrote:
TechWorld also wrote a piece praising our proposed reforms to tech and data...
And we are also the only party who really listen to you. When you tell us about your financial worries and what can be done differently, we hear you.
The response to our policies on Off-Payroll tax and train fares shows that we understand, and we demand better:
Lib Dem's to unveil a five year fares freeze 'for commuters and season ticket holders' in their manifesto today
Deputy leader Ed Davey said: 'People are paying way over the odds for what has often been an appalling service'https://t.co/HthjfO6asX
Faisal Islam, the BBC's Economics editor, gave our economic policies a thumbs-up in his analysis...
And would less cannabis mean fewer police? https://t.co/MRFhxGtp9n
Oh, and as if that wasn't enough, let's not forget Jo smashing it at the CBI conference on Tuesday.
Yup.
In conclusion?
Our manifesto is the only Plan for the Future. While the two, tired old parties would take us back to the past, we have a bold, brighter vision for our country.
From the sound of things, you share that vision with us!
